Lucianne.com - American Thinker, by Stella Paul Posted By: magnante- Mon, 08 08 2013 12:08:18 GMT Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, but she still excites the public so much that her chest X'ray sold for $45,000. She´s the subject of 1,000 books, the inspiration for Macy´s new fashion collection, and an omnipresent icon who outstrips any living star. So why did the media ignore the stunning new evidence tying Bobby Kennedy to her death? In recently discovered journals of Hollywood private eye Fred Otash, he wrote: "I listened to Marilyn Monroe die." According to Otash, he had bugged Marilyn´s home and previously recorded Marilyn´s sex sessions with President John Kennedy

Lucianne.com - American Spectator, by David Catron Posted By: garnet- Mon, 08 32 2013 11:32:07 GMT The White House says the decision, announced last Tuesday, to delay implementation of Obamacare's employer mandate was made because "a dialogue with businesses" revealed the need to reduce the reporting burden it placed on employers. This tale is enough to make a cat laugh. This crew doesn't do "dialogue." Your BS detector badly needs a tune up if it didn't start buzzing when Valerie Jarrett blogged, "We're listening." The delay is obviously due to the ineptitude of the Obama administration, and this is the fourth major provision of PPACA to be repealed or delayed for the same reason.

Ace of Spades HQ - Happy Monday. It's looking a lot like pilot error. NTSB isn't saying for sure yet, but there's no reported or observed mechanical failure and the pilot only had 43 hours of flying time on the 777. "The plane was travelling...

Lucianne.com - Moher Jones Magazine, by Chris Mooney Posted By: Scottyboy- Mon, 08 51 2013 11:51:58 GMT If you watched President Obama´s major speech on climate change, you may have noticed a recurrent phrase: "our children." The president said the word "children" fifteen separate times in the speech. He also spoke repeatedly about "future generations" and how a sweltering planet imperils them. The threat of climate itself, meanwhile, garnered considerable scientific detail in the speech, replete with references to dangerous and destructive impacts that are already occurring-from rising seas to parched land and torched forests. "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that´s beyond fixing," the president said.

Drudge Report - The pilot in charge of the Asiana Airlines jet that crashed on landing at San Francisco International Airport had just 43 hours on the Boeing 777, though he had significant flight time on other jets, airline officials said today.

Lucianne.com - Legal Insurrection, by Andrew Branca Posted By: StormCnter- Mon, 08 19 2013 10:19:34 GMT Immediately following the close of the State's case on Friday, Mark O'Mara, the lawyer leading George Zimmerman's defense team, stood before Judge Nelson and made his oral motion for a judgment of acquittal for his client (a parallel written motion was also submitted to the Court). The motion was well'reasoned, and strongly founded on Florida's case law. It was also doomed to fail before a Judge who has consistently denied reasonable defense motions out of hand, while rubber'stamping motions by the State that bear not the slightest relevancy to the facts of this case. Details matter in the law,

Lucianne.com - Boston Globe, by Bryan Bender Posted By: PChristopher- Mon, 08 13 2013 07:13:05 GMT Teresa Heinz Kerry, a leading philanthropist and wife of US Secretary of State John F. Kerry, was in critical but stable condition Sunday after being flown to Massachusetts General Hospital from Nantucket, where she had been rushed to the hospital for an undisclosed ailment, according to aides to the secretary. Heinz Kerry, 74, was stricken while at the family's vacation home, according to State Department spokesman Glen Johnson. "Late Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Teresa Heinz Kerry was taken by ambulance to Nantucket Cottage Hospital, accompanied by her husband," Johnson said in a prepared statement.

Lucianne.com - Daily Beast, by Michael Moynihan Posted By: PageTurner- Mon, 08 50 2013 07:50:09 GMT I know, I know. We aren't supposed to pay attention to Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker doing an uncanny Sir Alfred Mehran impression at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. It's the drip, drip, drip of purloined documents that counts. But a story this big, this consequential, needs a dramatis personae of dramatic people. So let's offer Snowden a brief respite from the spotlight, pretend his motives are either pure or of little consequence, and instead turn our gaze toward those grandstanding politicians and activists demanding that our hero be left alone and all attention refocused on them.

Free Republic - O-B-A-M-A-C-A-R-E, the president's signature first-term legislative achievement, may spell another round of political trouble for many Democrats, who have some new explaining to do, thanks to the White House. Whether employers are eagerly sidestepping a key provision for another year (as many learned they would after a concession Tuesday night from President Obama) or House Republicans persist in voting to repeal the whole law (which theyve done nearly 40 times), its clear the Affordable Care Act continues to exist under a cloud more than two years after its enactment. This is a setback for the administration and for Democrats, Jim...

Real Clear Politics - Jack Kelly, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteThe Obama administration plans to delay for a year implementation of the "employer mandate" provision of Obamacare. It requires companies with 50 or more full-time employees to provide them with health insurance or pay a fine of $2,000 per worker.Obamacare was supposed to go fully into effect on Jan. 1, 2014, and some experts think delaying implementation of the employer mandate violates the law."The IRS not enforcing Section 1513 is like a policeman who patrols a stretch of road who says for the next year, he won't issue any speeding tickets," wrote Breitbart.com...

(Reuters) – The solid red brick house on a block of similar homes in Northwest Detroit sounds like a steal at $3,728.

But in many ways, it’s a lemon.

The house, sold at an auction last fall, sits at the edge of Detroit’s infamous urban blight. And scrap thieves, or “strippers,” have taken anything of value, including the kitchen sink and metal pipes, requiring repairs of up to $15,000.
